Concept information
Definition
- The air itself is the vibrator in the primary sense. The standing waves are significantly confined within the instrument itself. The column of air is made to vibrate by the intermittent access of an air stream produced by means of a lamella. The reed vibrates through [at] a closely fitted frame in the wall of an individual tube. The instrument is tuned by altering the length of the air column. There must be fingerholes in the pipe, otherwise the instrument belongs to the free reeds. (en)
